What it is like

Why people choose Port Coquitlam.

Port Coquitlam sits between the Coquitlam and Pitt rivers, and the Traboulay PoCo Trail loops right around the city. The downtown has kept its local feel, and many neighbourhoods are full of family homes with yards.

  • The Traboulay PoCo Trail loops around the city
  • A real downtown along Shaughnessy Street
  • The West Coast Express to downtown Vancouver
  • Family homes with yards, often for less than nearby cities
